Genelia says - No marriage plans untill 2012

Genelia has come out sturdily against rumours that she is getting married to actor Riteish Deshmukh any time soon.

"I am not getting married in 2012," says Genelia, who was in Hyderabad to walk the ramp.

She adds with impatience, "We have been married off quite a few times as well. I don't know why some people are in a tearing hurry to marry me off."

On her long-time friendship with Ritesh moving to the next level after they were seen together at Akshay Kumar's party, she says, "Frankly, I dislike discussing my personal life. I would like to say that Riteish is a close friend. I have six films on the floors including three Bollywood films. My packed schedule doesn't allow any time for marital bliss."

About the trend of actresses from the South giving Bollywood a shot, she says, "I can't comment about others but I have been doing South films to showcase my versatility and to expand my fan base which already covers six languages."

In fact, her first Malayalam film Urumi was a hit and missed an Oscar nomination by an inch. "Director Santhosh Sivan told me that we missed it by just one vote. Working on the film was fascinating," she adds.
Regarding working with Ramcharan and Rana, she said: "Ramcharan is an introvert and Rana is very talkative. But both of them are dedicated and down-to-earth, despite being from star families," she says.

"Actors Ram and Siddharth are my good friends and we spend time together whenever I am here," she adds.

Suriya’s ‘7am Arivu’ to clash with Vijay’s ‘Velayudham’ for Deepavali

Actor Suriya’s upcoming film ‘7am Arivu’ is likely to clash with Vijay’s ‘Velayudham’ on Deepavali.  The two stars, who starred together in films like ‘Friends’ more than a decade back, are all set to vie with each other for garnering the public’s attention on 26th October this year.

While ‘Velayudham’ has Genelia and Hansika opposite Vijay and has been directed by ‘remake’ king ‘Jayam’ Raja, Suriya’s ‘7am Arivu’ has been directed by the diminutive A.R. Murugadoss and pits the debutant Shruti Haasan opposite Suriya.  ‘Velayudham’ is said to be a wholesome commercial entertainer whereas ‘7am Arivu’ would be a never-before kind of film in Tamil cinema.

Suriya plays the triple roles of a scientist, a Buddhist Monk and a Circus artiste in the film which has been set in various periods of time.  The talented and pretty Shruti Haasan would also be making her much-awaited debut in this film as a heroine.  With her looks and grace, she would surely be luring the Tamil youths in the days to come, predict observers.

The audio launch of ‘7am Arivu’ has been scheduled to be held at the Chennai Trade Center on the 22nd September, at 6.00 PM. It’d be a grand ceremony attended by the bigwigs of the Tamil film industry. The producer, Udhayanidhi Stalin, has promised some high voltage performances during the event.
